Student pilot to Delta Air Lines in <12 years
Some dude on Jetcareers joined as a student pilot in 2003 and just got a class date at Delta. That's pretty good, less than 12 years from student pilot to major airline pilot.

Before the recent 1500 rule there were programs where you could go from zero time, to the right seat of a CRJ in < 1 year. To begin college/flight training @ 18 years old and to make it to a major by 30 years old is no huge feat.

There are people doing it in less, but often on affirmative action. I know in 2006 timeframe, Continetal was hiring 26 yr olds with no TPIC, but the starting pay was an insulting 30K/ yr, no healthcare for 6mos.
